Not all ancient megastructures were as ego-driven as the examples here. Many structures were purely religious in nature. Machu Picchu in Peru is widely regarded as primarily a civil engineering effort. The main problem is we cannot figure out how they worked with granite. We have vague ideas about how granite was moved, but not in situations where it was moved extremely long distances. Even moreso, we struggle to understand how the ancients cut granite so precisely.
I find that highly unlikely, outside of cases where it was explicitly trained to say that, because:

1) LLM deal in words, not facts

2) LLMs don't have episodic memories and/or knowledge of where they learnt anything

Tokyo seems to have done this. It’s not cheap by any means, but rent seems relatively affordable relative to pay (and very cheap compared to expensive cities in North America).

I wonder if part of the reason is that housing is not an investment vehicle in Japan (probably due to the Japanese preference for newer, more modern builds and the fact that housing is a depreciating asset in an earthquake prone region).

In most parts of the world, housing is tied to land, and land is very expensive. What makes things worse in North America is cultural dislike of verticality —- people want to preserve a museum of their low-rise neighborhoods and don’t want any tall buildings to block the view. That’s fine, but the cost is unaffordable housing.

Only after one completes the enlightenment of the soul's heart, thereby being granted a glimpse of our Creator's "Face" and becoming as the 5th Beatitude states:

"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God."

After that, the person has become fully submitted to the Divine Will (Spirit/conscience, physical body, soul, and free will, all four), and is thus a servant of humanity in lovingkindness for the rest of their days. Such a one then, in payment, gets unfettered access to our mostly latent human capabilities, including being able to ask any question and receive the answer, as well as full consciousness during the soul's travels while we sleep (where we travel at the speed of thought).

"How wonderful it is to be in constant communication with You." --Rumi (paraphrase from memory)

Note that every door that God opens in answer to a question reveals seven more closed doors beyond. As such, no one can exhaust this universe's knowledge in one lifetime, not even someone in constant, noiseless communication with the Divine Source.

I am not (yet) such a one, though I have made some progress.
Let's not pretend that people who put money into such crypto "investments" don't know exactly what is going on. The goal is always to pull money out before the inevitable collapse and leave some other sucker holding the bag. And if you get too greedy and don't manage to do it in time just cry fraud and turn to the government for help. After hundreds of such high profile incidents this is still regularly happening today (see the "Hawk Tuah coin" for example). I have no sympathy for anyone involved in these scams, whether perpetrator or victim.

Newspipe 11.2.0 Announced on Lemmy
Current embeddings are badly trained and are massively holding back networks. A core issue is something I call 'token drag'. Low frequency tokens, when they finally come up, drag the model back towards an earlier state causing a lot of lost training. This leads to the first few layers of a model effectively being dedicated to just being a buffer to the bad embeddings feeding the model. Luckily fixing this is actually really easy. Creating a sacrificial two layer network to predict embeddings in training (and then just calculating the embeddings once for prod inference) gives a massive boost to training. To see this in action check out the unified embeddings in this project: https://github.com/jmward01/lmplay
What I funny is the discussion recolve a lot around software development, where LLMs excel at. Outside this and creating junk text, like a government report, patent application etc they seem to be pretty useless. So most of the society doesn't care about it and it's not as big as a revolution as SWEs think it is at the moment and the discussion for future is actually philosophical: do we think the trend of development continue or we will hit a wall.
I gave up interest in GPT4/Claude3.5 about 6 months ago as not very helpful, producing plausible but wrong code.

Have an o3-mini model available to me on the other hand I'm very impressed with its fast, succinct, correct answers while tooling around in zsh on my mac. what things are called, why they exist. why is macports installing db48 etc. It still fails to write simple bash one liners. (I wanted to pipe the output of ffmpeg to a column of --enabled-features and it just couldn't do it)

It's a very helpful rubber duck but still not going to suffice as an agent, but I think its worth a subscription. I wanted to do everything local and self hosted and briefly owned a $3000 mac studio to run llama3.3-70B but it was only as good as GPT4 and too slow to be useful so returned it. In that context even $200/m is relatively cheap.

If you think of reading as one means of consumption of information then the ability to read may just be outdated, and people are moving to new forms of information consumption. Reading was never particularly exciting for me even though I wanted to discover what was hidden (often buried) in texts and if you can get the information in a more engaging and streamlined way so be it. Maybe the issue is really the content people are streaming and the lack of critical thinking and not that they are streaming at all.

As someone who enjoys RPG games with a lot of collectibles, Terraria’s “Quick stack to nearby chests” comes to mind. For those who haven’t played Terraria, here’s how this works: you stand in your base next to chests you’ve stored your loot in, click a button in your inventory window, and any items in your inventory which already exist in nearby chests get automatically sent to the appropriate chest. It’s a small feature, but huge in terms of QoL/time savings, especially if you’re like me and hoard everything you find

The problem is that it doesn’t matter what you think, or what I think. What matters is what the bureaucrat in Brussels thinks. The bureaucrat doesn’t care. They are driven everywhere and fly on their private jets.

It’s also illegal to participate in the traffic drunk yet I routinely see drunk people riding bicycles and scooters in regular traffic, often ignoring traffic lights, often with their face glued to a phone. That’s half a problem, the other problem is those same people with those same things on the sidewalk. I bet you, a ton of those people do not even have a driving license and/or understanding of traffic rules. Humans will be humans. First they cry for cycling paths, when they get them, they don’t use them. Cannot win stupid.

As a pedestrian in the city I want scooters and bicycles regulated AND enforced. But nobody cares. I stopped counting how many times I have to do acrobatics to walk around scooters and bicycles left in the middle of the sidewalk.

This is almost universal. If manufacturers are not already doing this they are planning it.

There is a lot of anxiety around the business model because a lot of the world is advancing and manufacturers are popping up everywhere with cheaper machines on offer. The moats are disappearing and durable goods manufacturers are clamoring for the next wave in the business model: subscription services for maintenance and support.

Ford has a connected fleet service offering that is picking up steam and could prove very lucrative in the commercial vehicle space.

A lot of this is rooted in an eroding labor pool that is lacking in bodies, training and experience.

This train fiasco is definitely bordering on criminal but it isn't far off from the wave of "progress" that is taking place.
Many of the major harms of these things were neglected, and downplayed even to this day people don't recognize just how changed the world has become. The mere delusion that AI will replace work has been used to justify mass layoffs.

The persistence of indistinct ghost jobs that are generated by computer for pennies to flood and bind with prospective job seekers (similar to RNA interference), has resulted in severe brain drain in many fields. Worse, the fact these people have often been forced into poverty as a result will have a lasting impact. You might have planned for up to a year out of work pre-AI and had the financial resources, but now how long does it take? Conversion ratios for the first step have changed by two magnitudes or order (from x100 to x10,000). What are the odds of these people finding a job given their finite time, and requirements that are un-automatable for submission (nil). The media keeps claiming that everything is getting better, the stats say so (while neglecting the fact that the stats are being manipulated to the point of uselessness/fabricated), but you have 1/3 of welfare payouts now going to these people in California (in the US), just for basic food.

When you can't find work, you go where the work is abandoning the bad economic investment and choice you made regardless of how competent you were. It is a psychologically sticky decision. When there is no chance at finding work, you get desperate, and many desperate people turn to crime and unrest. This was foreseen by a number of very intelligent people many decades ago, and ignored following business as usual.

The mere demonstration that we are unable to react in time is what gave engineers such great pause to write about these things, as far back as in the 70s. Hysteresis is a lagging time problem where you can't react fast enough to avert catastrophic failure given chaotic conditions, leaving survival up to chance. Its the worst type of engineering problem with real consequences.

Given how western society is structured dependently on labor exchange, its a perfect weapon of chaos and debasement in the value of labor, that effectively destroys half of its underlying economic structure (factor markets). This forces sieving conditions of wealth that become spinodal, and eventually falter under their constraints and spiral into deflationary trends over time.

Business wins so much that they lose everything. Its quite a disadvantaged environment and the general trend is that everyone is ignoring the pink elephant. Actions (and inaction) have consequences. When people don't listen and take appropriate action, consequences get dire, it hits the fan.

> Calculators are different since the output is correct as long as the input is correct.

That isn't really true.[0] The application of calculators to a subject matter is something that does need to be considered in some use cases.

LLMs also have accuracy considerations, and although it may be to a different degree, the subject matter to which they're applicable has a broad range of acceptable accuracies. While some textual subject matter demands a very specific answer, some doesn't: For example, there may be hundreds or thousands of various ways to summarize a text that could be accurate for a particular application.

The US is not the only country in the world. I was not speaking about your country.

I know, I know -- based on your comment history, you were probably expecting to be talking to an American and hoping to bait them into a Trump vs Biden ragebait. You see, posts like these are merely symptomatic. You created your account bang on during the US 2016 election period, spent all your time trying to systematically comment pro-whatever stuff, etc.

I don't care. Do whatever you want with your country - you'll be the main victim of what you do to it. I felt terrible for the US when Trump was first elected but this time around, I /really don't care/ because you guys did this to yourselves, and you're giving Europe a lot of incentives to get its shit together, which is well needed.

You see, your country is not at war. Your country has its own, deep, deep well of issues, but it is not at war. Mine is. My whole continent. And here, elections are not how we fight; elections are how we voice discontent, but they are easily interfered in by comrade Vlad as we've seen repeatedly in the past few years (most recently in Romania). Our elections are more and more often abused to install pro-russia propagandists in seats of power.

Of course, you probably don't care because people like you tend to look at people like Putin and idolize them. Something something he's a real man, he doesn't care about your feelings. I mean, he doesn't care about yours either, and your head will be on the chopping block all the same. Keep idolizing... his biggest fans are currently dying by the thousands, might not be a crowd you want to keep hanging with very long.
What about navigating all those Walmarts and parking lots?
Also, different terms for different works. Having the same rules for software, drugs, books, paintings etc. is ridiculous.

Software should require disclosure of details of what is protected (e.g. the source) so it can be public used post expiry - just as patents give you a monopoly only what is disclosed in the patent.
I hope people will come to the realisation that we have created a good plagiarizer at best. The "intelligence" originates from the human beings who created the training data for these LLMs. The hype will die when reality hits.
Thanks for the kind words and the recommendations. Ordered!

Conversely, sounds like this is just feeding directly into the Kling API though. I'd say pricing is going to be the roughest aspect since they're definitely not cheap.

To add to this - Kling's I2V model (even as of v1.6) is pretty inconsistent when it comes to 2D imagery - even in your cherry picked examples they're unfortunately morphing all over the place. Since you have no control over the model or even the end result outside of minimal positive/negative prompts, I think you'll find prospective customers getting potentially frustrated.
> One thing that strikes me about the photos I've flipped through so far, is being that LAN parties rarely have adequate sunlight

That's because you'd want to be able to see what's going on on the monitor without the sun getting in the way. It also happens to be a fact that LAN party types tend to be part troglodyte and thus prefer the darkness of caves and such.
More like I need to be rich to move to where my friends are - I went to college in the Bay Area and I can’t afford to live there. But honestly it’s not hard to keep in touch these days if you want to so I’m not the least bit bothered.

As a renter, I’m constantly on the move because I can’t afford homeownership - the price to rent ratio is firmly between 19 and 20 at the moment, and that’s after moving from the Bay Area. Buying is a minimum of a 48% increase here in Seattle, that absurd.

The problem with "many" is that unless it's 100% of the ones someone cares about, the solution can't really solve the problem, adding an additional pain in the ass and making it easier to just stick with passwords.

Sometimes, a lack of choices is a feature. (Compare e.g.: IPSec vs. Wireguard).
Gosh, I really miss quality of life features like that in modern MMOs. Path of Exile is especially bad in this regard, requiring you to manually click and drag and items around your tiny inventory just to sort them. Ugh. At least when you want to stash them (into paid stash tabs), they can automatically go to the right tab.
The worst model is a Hyundai. They are the worst manufacturer overall by dint of having a plethora of bad hardware. The strange thing is high end cars normally have as part of their appeal higher end safety features.

Either Tesla is just a pos which is unsafe at any speed or its self driving features are so good at offing people it more than makes up for any other factor.

It is certainly changing the way I search for information on the internet. Now there are lot of people, who instead of staying silent, post wildly wrong answers from an LLM. On a question or subject they themselves are not familiar with.

Some answers are very long and just re-state the previous comments as if they were explaining simple concepts to a five year old child.

In short: in the hands of humans, tools like ChatGPT cause exponential growth of spam, engagement farming and malicious disinformation and propaganda in internet. I fear these negative use cases are growing exponentially faster than the useful parts. We will all drown in AI manure.
